  1. v2.4.0

    November 11, 2026
    • The desktop app is the control center. Pick each SKU as auto-buy, manual, or ignore, and product tabs open in Chrome instead of inside the app.
    • Target add-to-cart from 2.3.3 is unchanged: it keeps trying until the item is in the cart, on the timer you set in options.

  2. v2.3.3

    November 11, 2026
    • Target auto-checkout keeps trying to add the item for a few minutes when Target is slow or errors, instead of stopping after one click. It stops right away if the item is sold out, you hit a purchase limit, or you turn auto-checkout off.
    • How long it keeps trying is set in the extension options. The default is 3 minutes.

  3. v2.3.2

    November 3, 2026
    • If automated checkout stops before the order is placed, SnagTabs sends a desktop notification telling you which retailer needs you.
    • A new drop no longer pulls the window away from a tab that is waiting on a CAPTCHA or a checkout you still need to finish.

  4. v2.1.3

    October 6, 2026
    • Alerts and Missions now load with a direct, lighter-weight read instead of going through a server function on a timer. Same alerts, same behavior — less load on SnagTabs' backend, which keeps the feed reliable.

  5. v2.1.2

    September 23, 2026
    • Missions are now delivered by realtime push instead of being checked every 2 seconds. A slower background check stays on as a safety net.
    • The extension's description now makes clear it works for Snag Basic members, not just Snag+.

  6. v2.1.0 – 2.1.1

    August 31 – September 2026
    • New for Snag+: Missions. Arm a mission for up to 5 products; when one drops, the extension opens it — and on Pokémon Center, Target and Walmart it can run checkout for you. Sam's Club and Amazon missions open the tab and notify you instead.
    • Checkout profiles are stored encrypted in your own browser under a master password, and you can keep more than one. An "Unlock this session" option re-enables them after a browser restart without re-typing card details.
    • CAPTCHAs are never solved automatically: if one appears, the extension pauses, focuses the tab and sends a notification so you can solve it.
    • Simplified popup: retailer, capacity, connection health and Start/Restart/Stop — the rest of the clutter is gone.

  7. v2.0.11

    August 9, 2026
    • Removed the Pokémon/One Piece checkboxes from the popup — the website Watchlist is now the way to choose what opens.
    • Fixed: a One Piece product you explicitly picked on the Watchlist could still be blocked from auto-opening.

  8. v2.0.10

    August 9, 2026
    • New: Watchlist. Pick, per retailer, whether every restock auto-opens or only the specific products you've selected.
    • A brand-new product that wasn't in the catalog when you set your Watchlist still opens, instead of being silently skipped.

  9. v2.0.9

    August 2026
    • Fixed members being signed out of the extension roughly once an hour. Sessions now refresh automatically in the background.
